Some Info for our customers or soon to be customers.

The NB48, NT48, and ET48 are due to release this fall 2013. The NB48 price will be a little bit higher than the EB48 and will be in the price range of 600-700(comparable to other nitro kits on the market). These figures and release date are going to be more solidified in the coming months. Truggy prices are not yet determined but we are hoping for a sub 700 price tag along with the buggy.

I'm going to put my T8ight-E truggy in the "on retirement box"...

Hope the battery tray will accept long Lipo as many 5S and 6S are not standarized like the 4S cars lipo.

Should be the same exact battery tray as the EB48, which is a little bit longer than the standard 2s X 2 setup.

Actually, I could be wrong. Its using a truggy motor so maybe they have allowed more room, thus extending the battery tray with it too slightly. Maybe Danny could confirm.

Has anyone come up with a good battery setup to run 20min mains in E truggy?

Truggy motors fit EB48 so i would say the distance between steering and center diff is the same on both EB48 and ET48.

We've been running 6s systems (2x3s). 20 is getting close, but 15 is possible depending on the track and how much excessive wheel spin you have as a driving style.

I need to time maximum runtime again at our local track.

Judging by the pics it looks like the truggy is using the same side guards as the buggy. I was hoping for a bigger battery tray too.

It is the same mudguard. Battery tray is 148x50mm, height is whatever you can fit under a truggy body. You can make the tray a little bigger if you're not running mechanical brakes.

The weight with a 4s/5000 is ~4000g (just under 9lb minimum). Combine that with the straight driveline and the low rotating mass and it should be the most efficient eTruggy available.
